Zhihong Yu commented on HBASE-4608:
-----------------------------------
>From HFileBlock:
{code}
int getMinorVersion() {
return this.minorVersion;
}
{code}
>From HFileReaderV2.java:
{code}
private void validateMinorVersion(Path path, int minorVersion) {
if (minorVersion < MIN_MINOR_VERSION ||
minorVersion > MAX_MINOR_VERSION) {
{code}
I think compression type versioning would allow us to perform migration with
ease in the future.
PREFIX_COMPRESSION_V2, first cited by Stack, is a combination of compression
type + compression version.

> The current bottleneck to HBase write speed is replicating the WAL appends
> across different datanodes. We can speed up this process by compressing the
> HLog. Current plan involves using a dictionary to compress table name, region
> id, cf name, and possibly other bits of repeated data. Also, HLog format may
> be changed in other ways to produce a smaller HLog.
